Resit Exams

Resitting Exams

Deadline

The HGS deadline for resit entries is usually in February. The deadline for 2027 will be published when available. For entry fees, please refer to the websites of the awarding bodies.

Entry Fees and Administration Costs

In addition to standard exam entry fees as determined by the awarding bodies, HGS applies an additional non-refundable administration feeof £100 plus £25 per subject.

Responsibilities of Candidates

Candidates are responsible for submitting all entry information to the Exams Office by the specified deadline. If additional fees arise from exam accommodation, including extra invigilation costs, these will be invoiced after the exam timetable is finalised. Any such additional fees must be paid at least one week prior to the examination date.

Note: The centre reserves the right to withdraw your exam entry if payment of fees remains outstanding.

Amendments, Cancellations and Refunds

HGS cannot assume responsibility for amendment fees resulting from late changes to exam entry information. Should a candidate decide to withdraw their entry, any refund will be limited to the amount provided by the awarding body. Refund eligibility is generally restricted to a limited period after the entry deadline, and policies vary by awarding body.

In the event of exam cancellation, HGS will be unable to provide a centre- or teacher-assessed grade. Candidates will be eligible only for any refund issued by the awarding body concerned.

Application for Private Candidates

Applications from former students will be evaluated on factors such as past attendance and conduct. The centre retains discretion in accepting entries for all resit exams and will notify applicants of their acceptance decision. For more details, please consult our Resit Examination Policy for Private Candidates.

It is the responsibility of the candidate to remain informed about all relevant exam information, including dates and deadlines. HGS is unable to offer educational tuition or additional preparation support for external candidates resitting exams.
